Spielman Bagels and Coffee Roasters

My go-to bagel shop in town! The bagels are so good and made with sourdough, which gives them a slightly different texture than traditional NY bagels, but honestly, I prefer it this way. I usually order the Uncle Sal or Willamette sandwich on an everything bagel or the jalapeño cheddar (AMAZING). Super chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and always a great experience. A must-try!

My best friend picked up a couple bagel sandwiches for her boyfriend in the hospital up the street... They gave her the wrong order. When she attempted to exchange them for a corrected order, they refused to make it right. To be fair, she didn't get a receipt because she paid cash and was in a hurry, but still, I think it's ridiculous that she wasn't able to get the right order. She ended up giving them to a homeless person.

Spielman’s is maybe my favorite bagel spot in portland, mostly because of their salt and herb bagel which is DELICIOUS. However, it’s a toss up whether or not the salt and herb topping actually sticks to the bagel or not. A lot of times I order it and it’s basically a plain bagel. If that gets fixed, it’s 5 stars easy!

I really liked the cream cheese they use… has a great full flavor profile. They didn’t toast the bagels for some reason… bagels themselves were nothing special but solid. Service was fine. Coffee was terrible. Undrinkable swill, lol.

Ordered two bacon jam bagels w/ everything bagels. I get home, open the bagel and immediately notice no arugula on either sandwich. A little disappointing but here we are. I take my first bite. First thought was it was chewier than normal. Upon further inspection, I realize my sandwich was made using both bagel bottoms. No top. What's the point of getting an everything bagel with two plain bottoms? I look over at my girlfriend, ask if she eating bagel tops only and sure enough she is. She said it was very salty. Not a great experience.
